The Cebu Provincial Government has launched a probe into a Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) pronouncement that crushed dolomite boulders from Cebu were being used to fill up Manila Bay’s 500-meter baywalk as part of the national agency’s bay rehabilitation program. Provincial Board Member John Ismael Borgonia (Cebu, 3rd District), who chairs the committee on environment and natural resources, said re-ports that minerals from Cebu were being used to develop Manila Bay “caught him by surprise.” He said they will verify which part of the province pro-vided the dolomite rocks for the DENR project.
